It's amazing to me the way this cracked vertically first, instead of horizontally crumbling along the lines of the mortar holding the bricks and coral together. You're right about that tree possibly making the whole structure shutter. Sadly, the remaining structure almost surely won't weather too many more years of typhoons or waves. <br /><br />Looks like the small rectangular holes on top, above the windows, would have held wooden beams to support a wooden roof (which the sentries would have stood on to watch the ocean). I wonder what they kept inside the tower - would be a good place to look with a metal detector maybe. How tall do you think the tower is?Buzz Lightyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308241458313232014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641784269879964446.post-76935663310594716102013-07-21T08:54:44.620-07:002013-07-21T08:54:44.620-07:00This is unlike anything that I have watched till n...This is unlike anything that I have watched till now! Cannot beleive that it is a lighthouse! It looks so ancient, you have captured it beautifully. And I love the way you describe the tree and the kids, almost in a poetic sense!
